What to main in the War Within? Today we’re talking about what tank to play in War Within more specifically. I got 3 choices that made me consider taking tanking in the new wow expansion and I go over all the in’s and out’s of these specs to give solid arguments on why these should be options for you to pick! Until we finish a proper war within tank tier list, we shall go more in-depth in specs to help you have a better informed decision!

If you're too nervous to get into tanking, plz realise that tanking is just being a dps that is invincible. You can literally solo most content. Your team is just there to speed up the clear time. Plus if your group wipes, it feels good to 1v1 dungeon and raid bosses and your group will think you're really good at the game.

I found being the leader was the nervous part but the Tank gets to set the pace so it makes it easier

@@MediiiiccAbsolutely. Tanks self sustain desperately need to be reeled in. I thought I was being helpful to my healers when I was off healing with a prot paladin. After getting back into healing this xpac (havent healed since BFA), turns out I was literally just stealing their entire role and making it unfun for them. But yeah tanking is the most op and easiest role by far. I understand the social pressure aspect, but currently mechanically speaking you are a raid boss and your party are your adds.

@layunin2941 6 күн бұрын

Why tanking is my favorite role by far since the inception of WoW: 1. I can pull at the pace that I want (as fast as possible, with respect to the pull difficulty in M+). I hate tanks that are slow and rude when asked to go faster. 2. Extremely little downtime when LFGing M+ groups. 3. Depending on what tank you play, you are basically a 4th DPS. 4. Mostly because I don't trust other tanks.

@Fleshbag453 5 күн бұрын

Honestly, tanking feels so much easier than having to memorize dps rotations and far less stressful than healing

The problem I usually have with tanking is not how easy or hard a tank spec is but the frustration of learning routes, downloading WA's and Plater profiles, learning all abiliites from adds and bosses and getting yelled at when you don't do everything perfect. I wish the game would deal with these issues rather than how tanky a spec is. There is just so much information you need to know before even start playing as a tank. And that pushes people away in the end.

Learning adds and bosses is how it should be. Googling meta routes is super annoying though. Especially when your party does not like your chosen route and starts whining and raging, even if their idea is inferior to yours.

What helped me learn how to play tank the most was just hopping into Follower Dungeons and just getting comfy with the routes and pulls. I think the emphasis on solo content in TWW will help a lot of new players get over the anxiety of tanking.

Question about Blood DK; between Deathbringer and San, which is more of a fast paced action oriented?

@PUNishment777 6 күн бұрын

San

@kikoredog 6 күн бұрын

all tank hero specs have been split into 2 groups, one is passive, the other is active damage. san = passive lots of resource gen and healing, deathbringer = more DPS (will probably be default ST/raid choice) with san being M+

So blood DK sounds cool, many people say it’s the “most fun tank” but I’m worried it’s going to be really challenging. I’ve really only tanked on prot pally (which I find quite easy) but when I tried warrior a few times over the last handful of expansions it’s always felt way more complicated and like you have to carefully weave active mitigation abilities in certain orders or you’ll just die.. Is blood not for me if I find Warrior too complex and intimidating to play?

part of making a spec choice is also knowing the other 2 options...and WW / MW blow ballsack (not in numbers but in gameplay)... druid/DK/PALA have the best possible options all around, with monk/war/dh now falling behind. (dh got neutered with no double sigils and if havoc isn't tuned right no one will bring one) (all war specs are very meh and the most uninspired design/spell wise)

If people are nervous about tanking, relax. You’re just there to get hit by stuff. You’ve been training for tank since you started wow except now you’ll die less. If you die, blame the healer. If someone doesn’t interrupt, blame the dps lol. You literally spam a couple buttons to hit everything and then just hit whatever buttons you want. Choose by icon looks or whatever. You can’t do wrong as long as you’re being hit

@8bitchiptune420 6 күн бұрын

In a dungeon, the healer is there to heal the dps. A tank should be able to survive by themselves. That’s the mentality when a tank pull a pack. If you can’t survive, maybe pull less or upgrade your gear.

Just a disclaimer for anyone coming here thinking this is some sort of like "only play these 2 tanks, the others are all eh" This is purely just an opinion piece of a single persons view of tanks, there is no data or anything like that yet, half the ability's change every few days at the moment. Do not take this as gospel on what to play. Who knows both of these tanks could be at the bottom of the pack when the actual data comes out.
